Afrikaans focus groups, transcribed properly
Afrikaans (Afrikaans): Standard Afrikaans output; Cape and inland accents both transcribe on the same model. English code-switching — near-universal in South African recordings — is handled cleanly.
Focus groups in particular: Diarization untangles overlapping voices better than session notes ever will. Coded excerpts, participant quotes and themes you can defend.
